Fall Mantel and My First Link Party!

Pin It You know when you have a vision of how you want your decorating project to turn out?  Well, in this case, I had no idea which direction I was going.  I just knew that I was going to spray paint some pumpkins and dig around in my bin of fall decorations to achieve some sort of fall mantel that was cute. 

Mission accomplished!  I love the way these metallic pumpkins catch the light and add a touch of glam to the mantel.  I jammed carefully placed craft sticks down the center of the stacked pumpkins to keep them together.  Since most of these pumpkins are cheapy and made of Styrofoam, it was easy to push the stick through the bottom two, then place one on top. 
Need some inspiration? You can check out my mantel, as well as a lot of other fall mantles at Centsational Girl's website.  I'll be linking up my photos!  So exciting!
